It is sad to see such an incredible breed be on the decline in terms of population. We hope to see this turn around in the coming years as efforts worldwide pull together to strengthen the Pyrenean Mastiff population through ethical and responsible breeding practices.
We wanted to share an update on data regarding number of Pyrenean Mastiff puppies born worldwide. Like we mentioned last year our breed was labeled to be in vulnerable status by the origin country Kennel Club in Spain (RSCE).
Death rates are higher than birthrates and we have had a steady decline in birthrates the last few years. 2024 there were 60 less puppies born than 2023 and it appears we may have even less in 2025.
The Pyrenean Mastiff is an incredible breed that deserves global efforts to ensure its future through responsible and ethical breeding practices. We hope in the years to come we can turn this number around as more and more people learn about the breed!
